Spins modes. Gates of Olympus 2500 was released by Pragmatic Play on 28 September 2026. According to the company’s official website, the game is one of its major titles for the second half of the year. Pragmatic Play lists the new elements of the game in the press release announcing Gates of Olympus 2500. It is placed on the firm’s roadmap for Q4 as part of a greater effort to create updated versions of many of its well-established slots.
Unlike other slot franchises, such as NetEnt’s Starburst, Pragmatic Play did not need to rebuild the entire Gates of Olympus series. Instead of building a brand-new game using a completely different format, they chose to use a similar grid layout and tumble mechanic that players loved about the original. Therefore, Gates of Olympus 2500 uses the exact same 6 x 5 grid layout used in all previous iterations of the series. A player gets paid if he or she gets at least eight (or more) of the same symbol anywhere on the reel set.
Once a player receives a payment, his/her winning symbols get removed and replaced with new symbols falling down from above. This allows players to achieve consecutive wins through the classic tumble mechanism. In terms of numbers, the primary difference is found in the multiplier symbols. Now these symbols can have multipliers up to 2,500x instead of just 6,400x. If a player lands multiple multiplier symbols on the same spin, they add them together to apply this combined multiplier to the player’s winnings. As mentioned earlier, these symbols can appear either in the base game or in the bonus round(s).
The stated figure of 2,500x for the game's multiplier should not be confused with the game's max win. Data published on independent websites states that Gates of Olympus 2500 has a max win of 25,000x the bet size. Also, the game features a default RTP rate of 96.52% and has high volatility. Depending upon the operator offering this title, alternative RTP options may exist.
When a player lands at least Four Scatter symbols on the reels, they will initially receive fifteen Free Spins. However, prior to beginning their Free Spins feature, a random pre-feature wheel awards which one of Four possible free spin features will be awarded. Landing Three additional Scatter symbols during the feature adds five extra spins.
In each version of Free Spins, multiplier symbols landing in addition to a winning combination are included in a cumulative running total. At some point after this running total reaches zero, the running total is added to subsequent wins. Each version also has a super Free Spins counterpart where the minimum starting multiplier is ten times greater than that in regular Free Spins.
There is importance to the difference between super and non-super versions of each Free Spins mode; it creates separate behaviors within each respective version without eliminating the basic principles of tumble-and-multiply in all versions of Gates of Olympus. Prior to initiating each Free Spins feature, there exists additional uncertainty created by the pre-feature wheel, resulting in variability of each feature from one trigger to the next.
Although the press release discussing Gates of Olympus 2500 primarily discusses Zeus, it tells us just as much about Pragmatic Play's overall strategic direction as it does about Zeus. According to Pragmatic Play, Gates of Olympus 2500 is their newest "mega release," following Sweet Rush Bonanza and Fury of Anubis. Currently, Pragmatic Play offers more than 500 games. As we previously noted, Gates of Olympus itself has grown into various forms and themes and is likely one of the leading examples in the industry today of a slot franchise that continues to grow and evolve with new versions and formats.
That model is indicative of a common practice throughout modern online gaming: as soon as a particular slot develops enough recognizable characteristics so as to establish an identity for itself, developers can build sequels that maintain those attributes while improving upon others (i.e., increase multiplier potential), including adding new ways to participate in bonuses. Operators benefit immediately from knowing that a recognized brand name offers instant recognition — regardless of whether that slot could offer something entirely new.
As such, Gates of Olympus 2500 represents an evolutionary sequel (rather than a direct replacement) for the original. The familiar tumble-win mechanics, 6×5 grid layout, and Zeus theme are all still present; however, Gates of Olympus 2500 introduces four different Free Spins modes, multiplier symbols worth up to 2,500x and a max win potential of 25,000x, creating a significantly enhanced bonus structure compared to what was originally available.
